Thanks man! Attempting. I guess the specific title is Graphic Designer & Pre-Press Manager. I have a feeling that I'll be the grunt for a lot of things but the benefit is that it's a very relaxed atmosphere (so I'm told by former employees) and they have you sign a job-forever contract when you get hired. It basically prohibits the company from doing lay-offs. I heard last time they had to do lay-offs, they offered employees a year salary to quit. So like, here's 30 or 40 grand to quit. Awesome.

my wife worked for the chronicle in houston and that's basically how it was super laid back with low turnover and lots of lifers. good luck but sounds like you got that one in the bag.

i walk dogs. it's a pretty sweet gig. i basically just bike around the city and hang out with dogs. the only thing is it's getting cold out there and i hate driving in the city/finding parking. hoping they move me to the front desk where it's warm and i'll be making some more, but i'm not psyched on talking to people again at work, much less weirdo dog people.

i was working at a bank. fucking boring, full of fake corporate whores. i got laid off due to management shifts and regular leadership. the pay was great and the benefits, but 10+ hour days get old fast.



currently coming off unemployment. went back to a old shit job at a gas station part time and started a vintage clothing/antique/weirdshit store thing on the intarwebs. so far so good. the goal is to work for myself not dickheads. plus i get to start school in the spring after 5 years after dropping out. for free, being im finally of age and poor enough to get assistance. rather be a student right now then trying to come up in a shithole company lead by delusional fucks.

I feel sorry for you.

I'm currently unemployed right now. I'm looking for some bullshit jobs (Home Depot, Ross, etc.) to make some cash while in college. I get money from the VA so that's helping me out for a year.

My wife just started working in Union Square in SF. She has been taking the BART to work, but it's a long haul everyday. So, we are talking about moving up there next year. I'll need to find a job that pays at least $18 an hour. I freaking hate looking for a job.

My friend just got me a job at the Chinese restaurant he manages. Job's wicked easy and I get money under the table. It's currently the only thing going for me right now because I've been unemployed since July and plus nothing else is working out in my life.

Mark's Work Wearhouse. Sells a lot of work boots and industrial shit. Sell boots and fold clothing the whole time. I get $10.25/hour, which is good, but closing's a bitch and they haven't gave me any hours in two weeks.

Anyone here worked on an oil rig/Alaska fishing/similar hard job with high pay?

Thinking of doing something along these lines for the coming Summer.

I had a friend who did salmon fishing up in AK. Hard sketchy work. You get paid, but from what I've heard is since you get long stretches off at a time with a bunch of money. Most of the dudes get in to port, and get fucked up for most of the time they're there. Then are broke, and have to go back out.

I like this thread.

I'm a junior in College studying Urban and Regional Studies and don't work right now. I just took a test for a census job though and did really well, so hopefully come spring I'll be doing door to door bullshit for 12 bucks an hour.

Hey, I am studying exactly the same thing! Quite a good thing to study as a skateboarder...
i likes skooterboarding.. be lets friends :)
